Sounding very similar to how Darren Lynn Bousman’s Mother’s Day kicks off comes ATM, which centers on three co-workers who — on a routine stop at an ATM — unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives. The Safran Co. and Gold Circle Films picked up the spec script by Buried writer Chris Sparling. David Brooks, who gained fame with his short “Gone”, will get behind the camera this fall. Paul Brooks (“A Haunting in Connecticut”) will also produce.
